Orangina European Meeting

I should be starting work for six weeks on Monday. Which is good news and bad news.

Good news is that I can at least go (which wouldn't really be the case if I was starting a week later and only had Saturday and Sunday off), bad news is that I probably won't be in Strasbourg any earlier than late on Friday evening.

I'm going to try and maybe get my final day of work off so I can travel down on Friday morning or maybe even Thursday evening and get an extra day, but I'll probably just have to make do with finishing work on the Friday afternoon. I'll book stuff for sure when I know exactly when I finish.

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend. I poured all my fucking effort from the last month into trying to get into shape for this meeting, too, and I won't be able to make it. Sorry guys. However, I'll be in England starting tomorrow so if anyone happens to be there just lemme know!

EDIT: Actually...there is still a very small chance I might be able to go. I need to get to England soon and it seems that the flights we were going to switch to from my August flight are all prohibitively expensive. I might still be going in August, and if I do I will 100% be certain to attend the meeting.

Ending is all life is about...and don't fret as things are going to be okay. You'll grow to accept the events that are unfolding currently. This will be fine. It will all be fine.

I happen to be there...

And sorry to hear you probably won't be able to make it. Not that I'm particularly certain of coming either. Should hopefully at least know this time next week, though it might be too late by then to book cheap flights and trains

Actually, it's becoming much more likely that I will be attending. We were completely unable to get a flight for July, so the August plane tickets are still held. I don't know what the plan is now, and I'm not sure why I'd be going to England but the fact is that I still have the flight booked for August 8th and if we decide to go and not throw it away, I WILL BE AT THE STRASBOURG MEETING!!!

Finally i must work thursday and Friday (19&20).
But it's not a big deal if i let the key, and nobody need me for playing Tetris...
i'll be back from 4:30PM... i'll discuss about this with the first attendies...

Basically I've got the choice of taking a few days off to go to Strasbourg, or a few days off to go to the Reading festival. Or shit gets fucked up entirely, I go through a huge faff and don't work or get paid for the last two weeks, which I'd rather not do (and it's not even confirmed that I'd be able to do it anyway), so leaves me missing Strasbourg of Reading. I'd actually probably enjoy Strasbourg more, but I've already paid about £180 to go to Reading, plus transport to and from Strasbourg is going to be a pain to organise and will be expensive because it's fairly last-minute, and I'll only be able to be there for two or three of the days anyway.

So yeah, I should have been able to go, but the company I'm working for fucked me over by being slow, and I finish a week after the weekend rather than the week before like I planned. It sucks, but c'est la vie I guess.

Hope you guys have fun (but not too much ), and I'll be doing nothing next summer so I'll almost 100% certainly be able to go to a meeting next year regardless of when it is (so long as it's in Europe though). Maybe this is good news for someone who wants to go but couldn't because there weren't enough places?

ok i must start listing all available material for the meeting...
i must also watch for a live streaming,
For sure i have 2 BIG CRT TV.. but i would be glad if another supergun was available, meaning TGM1, TAP and Ti available at the same time !!

I could ask Deniax if I'm allowed to bring his JVS supergun to Strasbourg (he still hasn't picked it up at mine from servicing it with OBSF buttons), but it's 1P only and JVS only, but it works for Ti. So we could use your 1P supergun for TGM1, my 2P supergun for TAP, and Deniax's supergun for Ti. That would limit dual play or versus play to TAP only, but it's by far the most interesting game for those anyway.

FYI, I've ordered a Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle so that we can capture the actual gameplay feed alongside the webcam feed for dual angle livestreaming. Let's just hope it arrives in time . I'll also bring my VGA to video converter so we can stream Ti just as effortlessly.
